I spend in excess of 200 days per year fishing this coastline and think that i have a more than an intimate knowledge of this coastline and its fishing.
It is a well known fact that the catches of large copper sharks were below average for period Nov 05 –Jan 06 due to abnormal high water temperatures. Subsequent to this things normalised with the sharks being caught in large numbers again as per tagging statistics and reports from fellow guides.
The guides in Namibia tend to share information and do not see guiding as a competition but rather co-operate to ensure that clients catch rate go up which benefits all in the long run.
The same goes for guiding rates and all charge in the same ballpark figure. It is only when some agents offer package deals that the rate becomes distorted. As a guideline, registered professional, guides charge between N$650-N$800/day/person for the fishing. Inclusive of guide with 4x4, bait ,tackle ,packed lunch, coolbox with softdrinks/beer, permits, daily pick-up and drop off at Hotel.
Accommadation can be between N$300-N$400/day/person on bed and breakfast basis and self- catering/sharing even less. You do the maths and see where I am coming from. It will always be cheaper to book direct.
Mr Mcguire has only been acting as a booking agent for Mola Mola Angling Namibia following initial trip as a client with Mola Mola Angling Namibia.
Our relationship ended when he suddenly left Namibia.
It is reported that he left before being asked to do so, by the Namibian Authorities.
This timely departure also left a number of people with financial matters outstanding.
I am happy to elaborate on any of these issues and answer any question.

Terence
